In a blender, puree the onion, garlic, and sesame seeds with the brown sugar, allspice, thyme, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, cayenne, oil, and vinegar.
Heat the broiler.
Lightly oil a broiler pan or baking sheet.
Sprinkle both sides of the catfish fillets with the remaining salt and put them on the prepared baking sheet, skinned-side down.
Spread the spice mixture over the fish in an even layer.
Broil the fish, about 6 inches from the heat if possible, until well-browned and just done. This will take about 5 minutes for ¾-inch-thick fillets
